A lot less excitement here for Gen 1 quad launch mode than I expected!
I've used the brake and accelerator hold release the brake a few times and almost made the family sick in the process. My lowly 6-700 hp without launch mode is brain rattling on launch already, will launch mode give everyone in the vehicle a concussion?

My wife said never do that again after a “brake torque” launch in our Gen 1 Quad in sport mode. Definitely the fastest vehicle in a straight line that I have driven.
Sounds like a successful demonstration.

I'm still sitting on 2025.26.01 just because it's been so damn stable for me (and because of reports of speaker / sub inversion nuking audio quality in one of the subsequent updates).

Hoping this is the update to make me take the plunge though, but may still hold out for texting (even though that may still be years off, if it ever even happens).
Do you have a Gen2?

Prior to update 2025.46 the front speakers were out of phase with the rear speakers (I think Gen2 only). This caused the bass to get washed out at higher volumes. It was not in the release notes, but update 2025.46 corrected the polarity issue and now all the speakers appear to be in phase. And it sounds a lot better. Like a lot.

This update sounds very handy, but ironically, the winter range update will hit us just in time for spring :facepalm: -- the most handy thing about a watch app for me would be a remote button to open the frunk whilst I am carrying groceries back to the truck, or better yet, siri integration to accomplish same thing via voice; I wonder if that will be an included function.

How soon after releasing notes does Rivian usually take for launching the OTA?
Few weeks to a month. Don't worry about it. It happens when it does. If you want a little more visibility of roll out progress, link your account to rivianroamer. Once linked, you will get an automated email from it to let you know your vehicle has been flagged for update (has been pushed to you and available for download). Without linking, there are no notifications. And if your vehicle is not already connected to WiFi, download will not occur. And, you would not receive any notifications until it's already downloaded and ready to install. And if your download has paused/failed, you will be able to look and find clues on why; instead of being completely clueless.

And don't take timing of release notes literal. They could always pull back and delay if beta testing deem it not ready for mass distribution. Also, contrary to what some mistakenly believe, updates were never said to be monthly. Ever.

You need to make sure you fully turn off traction control first as well for even better results.

It's winter and I'm on winter tires, aka marshmallows. I'll be more excited for this in May when I throw the ATs back on.

Winter basically lasts through April for us. :p Personally, I walk out to the garage to plug my truck in and sometimes forget to bring my phone. The watch app will be nice for that as using the Siri shortcut via my watch has been unreliable and slow.

And lowest in sport with 80+% battery. It's even better if there's some water on the road.

Launching is hilarious in "even just" a G1 Quad. I hope they give is the same 130mph top speed for the launch.

How long do releases typically stay in "upcoming". Rivianroamer upgrade guide doesn't mention it.

It's going to be released on Thursday.
